That bubble.

Celestia couldn't get it out of her head. That luminescent bubble around that beautiful appendage. She had no idea it was so enrapturing. Forget all her past loves. This bubble was entrancing.

Never before had such a thing attracted her. An aura of magic was as common in a unicorn as the unicorns themselves.

Celestia winced. That was terrible!

She tried to find another suitable metaphor for what she was feeling. Sweet? No. Horny? Maybe. Regardless, it had been five hundred years since her last fling, a stallion who left a bitter taste in her soul after betraying her to an enemy. Fortunately, those he betrayed her to had such a high concept of honour that they did away with him and sent a nice letter of apology. It had been just recently that the wound had mended.

Confound my heart for selecting my student as my new lover.

She stood in the doorway of the Ponyville library, silently watching that pulsing ether around Twilight's horn. A selection of ponies occasionally wandered by their princess and puzzled over what would have her locked in place. One particular unicorn, draped in a sleeping purple dragon and trailed by a cart of gems, gave a little snicker as she walked by, fully in the know.

That princess continued to stare silently at that student, watching her work her magic in thousands of ways at once. The shimmer in the library caught her form in all the right ways.

At that moment, in Celestia's deepest trance, Twilight turned around.
